Why You Crave Sugar (And How to Stop It Naturally) 👇

Your sugar cravings aren’t about willpower—they’re controlled by brain chemistry, gut bacteria, and hormones. Let’s break it down (and fix it).
A Thread.
1️⃣ Dopamine & The Sugar Trap

Sugar triggers dopamine, the same feel-good chemical triggered by addictive substances. This creates a reward loop, making your body crave more sugar.

Fix it :
• Cut sugar gradually.
• Boost dopamine with exercise & protein. Image
2️⃣ Your Gut Bacteria May Be Controlling You

Ever felt like sugar cravings are out of your control? They might be. Bad gut bacteria thrive on sugar and literally “tell” your brain to feed them more.

Fix it:
•Eat prebiotics & probiotics.
•Reduce processed foods. Image

You may recall the attached minutes from a recent NB meeting where the Fed’s CEO highlighted the worrying cash flow crisis looming for @PFEW_HQ in July.

Fifth and last paragraph 👇 Image
‘More details to follow’ it says with the CEO offering advice on what folk can do now to save money: ‘nonessential travel, meetings online, and alleviating any unnecessary spend’.
Didn’t stop them taking the entire NC up to Newcastle for a two day meeting at a hotel where breakfasts, lunch, dinners and a steady supply of alcoholic beverages were consumed though. All while the hotel at HQ sat empty.

They can’t see common sense beyond the Fog on the Tyne.

Russia and Belarus were two of just a handful of countries that avoided having additional tariffs imposed on their exports to the United States on Wednesday as Donald Trump launched a global trade war by announcing duties on goods from over 180 countries. ⤵️ Image
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt both later said that Russia and Belarus, as well as long-time US adversaries North Korea and Cuba, would not be affected by new tariffs due to existing sanctions against them.
“They are already facing extremely high tariffs and our previously imposed sanctions preclude any meaningful trade with these countries”, a source told The New York Times, though Leavitt stressed that Russia could yet face “additional strong sanctions” in future.

Most of what I am reading about tariffs is misguided. Here is a quick primer on how I understand what’s happening. Using the Casio.

1- I am convinced the calculus backed-up from a desired outcome both on an aggregate level and at country level in the case of China / EZ

1/10
Trump wanted to achieve $ 500 b in revenues and this current architecture achieves exactly this. It’s worse than any worst case + the formula looks wanky but that’s because they solved for a given revenue target. In Trump’s mind, it’s all about the starting $$ point

2/10
On China, Trump promised 60%. You add the initial 20% to the 34% => 54%. You then add the 25% duties on Venezuelan crude purchases => gets close. I do believe the combination of this with his 1st term 7.5%-25% China tariffs is a de-coupling. Not a template for a deal.

I hear your perspective my dear sister, and I get why it might feel that way. It’s true—Christians and non-Christians alike can have wealth, success, and even happiness in a worldly sense. In fact, there are times when believers struggle more than unbelievers.

But Jesus never promised material riches; He promised something deeper—life in abundance (John 10:10).

The measure of life isn’t in what we have but in who we have. Material possessions can satisfy for a while, but they don’t fill the God-shaped vacuum in every human heart.
That longing for something eternal, that thirst for meaning beyond just existing—it’s real. And only Jesus satisfies it (John 4:13-14).

Think about it—people with all the money and success in the world still end up empty, searching for more. Why?

1/ Russian soldiers are deserting because of abusive commanders who enjoy impunity to rob them, beat them, and punish them by sending them to die in futile assaults. A Russian warblogger appeals for them to be treated mercifully by the Russian army. ⬇️ Image
2/ Anastasia Kashevarova writes of the problem of soldiers being "deprived of protection from illegal actions by the command", deserting, being recaptured and then being sent into assaults as punishment without any of the root causes being addressed:
3/ "There are cases, and there are many of them, when soldiers run away from the front, although they are ready to fight, but due to the actions of individual commanders (non-statutory relations) they are forced to desert.

🚨The Second World War was started by an insane Adolf Hitler.
1/5
🚨If Donald Trump plunges America and the whole world into chaos, Trump is 99.9% responsible for World War III.
2/5
🚨This means for the history books that America caused World War III and is responsible for millions of deaths. Perhaps even for the fact that there will be no more life on planet Earth at all.

🧵THE MAN WHO TORE WAQF BILL

FROM RAZKAR TO MIM TO AIMIM
Asaduddin Owaisi, who tore WAQF bill yesterday in Parliament, has dark past. His party is linked to Pakistan-lover Qasim Rizvi.

His RAZKAR-MIM-AIMIM Journey is less scruitinized. A small🧵 Image
The MIM (Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen) was founded in 1926 by Nawab Mahmood Nawaz Khan as a platform for the Muslims to unite under the rule of Hyderabad Nizam Osman. The Razakars were the Islamist paramilitary force of the MIM, established by its President Bahadur Yar Jung.
It was Bahadur Yar Jung who founded the Majlis Tabligh-e-Islam in 1927 to encourage conversion of Hindus to Islam. Today, the official website of the AIMIM hails Yar Jung as "the tallest leader of the community".
